Is this an approved repair for an airliner? (Posted by a friend who was a passenger on the flight recently.)

It's an approved temporary repair that allows the aircraft to continue operating for a number of days before the permanent repair is made.
 
I assumed it was, but I wanted to get confirmation before reassuring her. Thanks, all.
 
I don’t know if the airlines use the acronym NEF (non essential furnishing) but that what we use. Piece of interior that doesn’t meet the criteria for an MEL, you write it up and the mechs have X number of days to replace it.
 
Yes It’s absolutely approved. Yep some airlines us the NEF program. They all however have some program in place for tracking
 
Well that's 3M pit tape and it's used extensively in the cargo holds so material-wise it's approved.
 
I love that tape! “Put that s..t on everything”:)
My old airline used to give the mechanics the expired tape.
 
I was trying to find it. Is it this?
3M™ Venture Tape™ Double Coated PET Tape 514CW
 
The airlines use a few different versions, some of which is way too strong. A bag bin retape is a serious arm workout pulling that stuff off the roll

Hopefully they track it, or they could call it "Not Ever Fixed".
 
if thats the same stuff we used to use on cargo liner rips, it actually says FAA-PMA approved on it.
 
Looks better than the wing of the last airline I flew on.
